My Fairytale Fantasy

Just like all little girls, I wanted to be a princess. I wanted to wear a big poofy ball gown and dance with a prince, I wanted to be just like Cinderella and have my fairytale, and tonight it happened.  It was unlike anything you'd ever believe. I was a princess, he was my prince charming, the lights were on us and his eyes sparkled as he looked into mine.  Although the whole school was watching it seemed as if it was just us, me and him together just like I had always imagined it. Those long hours, emotional breakdowns, dropping grades, sleepless nights...it was all worth it in that moment.

Just walking out on that stage was an experience that I hope to always remember. Right before going on he looked at me and said, "You look so beautiful"...at that instant my heart began to race and I grabbed his arm as we stepped into the light. I heard the audience roar and I just stood there-soaking it all in, and then before we knew it-it was over, everything we had worked for seemed to go by so fast yet I can recall every micro-second of those impeccable moments. Memories were made and I hope to revisit them often, for, as you can tell, I am quite fond of this night. In fact, I was so giddy last night that I couldn't sleep and even today I certainly could not stop smiling. People kept asking me why I was so happy and I couldn't come up with any concise answer, for I couldn't describe the feeling of how he made me get those butterflies in my stomach again, how I felt every time he talked to me and told me I was beautiful, how he had made me feel special and loved, how my fairytale fantasy had finally come true. But I will tell you that the storie's not over yet, this might just be the beginning of a new chapter, or maybe there's some hidden twist in the story that hasn't happened yet, but I know that I can't wait to find out what comes next and I'm sure that my 'happily ever after' will come soon enough.
